The hate for Taylor is puzzling. He doesn't talk trash, he's willing to fight anyone, and he's classy in defeat. There's nothing to hate about this guy. I'm a big Hopkins fan, but Hopkins simply waited too long to start fighting in the first fight with Taylor, I was ok with the decision in the second fight as well. As far as the Winky fight, Winky needs to fight all 12 rounds. He coasted in the 12th round and paid the price. I had Taylor ahead in the first Pavlik fight before he got knocked out, and I scored the second fight for Taylor as well. Taylor is certainly a flawed fighter, but he does everything a fan could ask from a fighter.

I agree with everything here. Except for the score in the 2nd fight.

Taylor deserves more respect than he gets. He needs alot of work on his inside defence and his stamina. But he is very good fighter.

Personally, I would like to see Bute vs Taylor, which i think would be a very entertaining and technical matchup

Taylor has all the physical tools to be great. Now, with 5 (FIVE!) kids, all sorts of deadbeat relatives sponging off him, houses, cars, etc. he might have the motivation to attain greatness.

i agree i hope he gets the kessler fight i dont think he won the 2nd fight with pavlik and i had taylor ahead only because of the knockdown by rounds i had it a draw 3-3 going to the 7th
